You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25914]]></link><description><![CDATA[You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus' Fig Tree He did belittle you.. but soon he'll bebig you.. and in the springwith blooms he will wig ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus' Fig Tree He did belittle you.. but soon he'll bebig you.. and in the springwith blooms he will wig you.. in summer he'll summon a jade garbto resprig you.. and in the fallon patient twigswith fresh fruit he'll refig you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the rain it raineth every day. -Twelfth Night.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In deep meditation the flow of concentration is continuous like the flow of oil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26798]]></link><description><![CDATA[In deep meditation the flow of concentration is continuous like the flow of oil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54776]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Larger U.S. retailers have recognized for a number of years that the domestic market is mature.

It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [It., Lasciate ogni speranza ch'entrate.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [It., Lasciate ogni speranza ch'entrate.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Corruption continues with us beyond the grave," She said, "and then plays merry hell with all ideas ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10186]]></link><description><![CDATA["Corruption continues with us beyond the grave," She said, "and then plays merry hell with all ideas]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So I am incredibly worried tonight about him and his safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40065]]></link><description><![CDATA[So I am incredibly worried tonight about him and his safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commissioner simply took advantage of being in the region yesterday to accompany Mr. Benson in Jackson and participate in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36015]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commissioner simply took advantage of being in the region yesterday to accompany Mr. Benson in Jackson and participate in the meeting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36015</guid></item></channel></rss>
